On Saturday, an American rock climber by the name of Alex Honnold became the first person to free-solo the El Capitan granite rock formation in Yosemite National Park.
If you’re wondering what ‘free-soloing’ means, it basically means he scaled the vertical wall without any ropes or safety equipment of any kind – with just a bag of chalk to keep his hands dry. Basically, he’s a real-life Spiderman.
